5002 HO Scale Cactus Berry Ballast
Description:
5002 Cactus Berry Ballast captures the soft, natural hues of the desert landscape with a unique blend of mauve, tan, and rose tones. Designed for HO scale realism, this ballast reflects the subtle color variations found in arid regions, making it ideal for layouts inspired by the American Southwest. The medium grain size is carefully screened for accurate scale texture and easy application around track, yards, and scenery bases.
Application:
This HO scale ballast works beautifully as both mainline and branch line material. Its rich desert coloration enhances visual depth when used alongside complementary tones such as Arizona Dirt or Yard Mix. For best results, spread evenly, mist lightly with water, and secure using a 50/50 glue-and-water mix or scenic cement.
